'The Girlfriend Experience' compels hesitant approach for risky content
(04/28/16 9:08pm)
Television often thrives on the taboo. With fewer restrictions to content, television series concen- trate their efforts in providing an exploration of content that view- ers are curious to see. People are naturally eager to consume what the standards of society restrict. The premium television network Starz recently merged with their sister company Encore. In order for Starz to rebrand their image and step up their game, they stra- tegically invested in their newest original series “The Girlfriend Experience,” a series entirely about the high-end prostitution industry. At a glance, it is easy to understand why Starz would add this edgy content to their lineup – sex sells. Premium channels such as HBO are known for sexually explicit content that ironically

Associated Press team wins 2016 Anthony Shadid Award

Future-focused musicians seek to shatter genres and identity
(02/03/16 2:00am)
For many musicians, music enthusiasts and writers like myself, the labelling and categorization of music is often a necessary evil for navigating the massively diverse world of Earth’s sounds. Assigning a song to a genre is much easier than having to assess the individual essence of an artist’s identity, background and voice, all of which are key components in the formation of their sound. The Wikipedia page for “Punk rock subgenres” lists 37 separate categories for various punks, almost as if it was some sort of biological classification for an animal kingdom. On the Wikipedia page “List of electronic music genres,” house music boasts a dizzying 29 separate subgenres, while sounds like hardcore, electronica and techno sport several classifications of their own.
Game on: Cruz, Clinton win Iowa Caucuses
(02/02/16 4:05am)
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, triumphed in the Iowa Caucus Monday, while on the Democratic side, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton narrowly beat Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in a race where votes were still being tallied well after midnight.
Sanders will fall unless voters take a stand
(12/03/15 3:21am)
A common refrain I hear from Hillary Clinton supporters is that even if the country could somehow muster the will to put Bernie Sanders into the Oval Office, nothing would ever get done because Republicans would block Sanders’ ultra-liberal policy proposals at every turn. Admittedly, I understand where these people are coming from. For people who think the government can and should play a more active role in bettering people’s lives by ensuring health care as a right for all citizens, making college universally affordable and reigning in the power of the wealthiest Americans to control the political process, Sanders is exactly the person upon whom we should bestow the presidency. On the other hand, for those in Congress possessing wildly different notions of what government should do on behalf of the people, i.e., Republicans, a Sanders win on 2016’s election night would undoubtedly presage a precipitous drop in legislative productivity.
Badgers still have future to play for
(11/20/15 2:52am)
With the hangover of the “408 game” still permeating the mind of the 2014 Wisconsin squad heading into its final two games, the Badgers’ grasp on the Big Ten West was theirs to lose. It narrowly survived the tight confines of Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa and cruised in the battle of Paul Bunyan’s Axe the following week, earning a date with Ohio State at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Factory-made costumes are taking over Halloween spirit
(11/04/15 4:36am)
Saturday night, the streets were filled with ghouls, ghosts and other garish creatures of the more unnerving persuasion. Classics enjoyed by many generations made their appearance as well, monsters like Frankenstein (Yes I know technically it’s Frankenstein’s monster), werewolves and all forms of vampire. And of course, the slutty nurse, cats that if they were cats would have no fur and professions clearly depicted with less clothing than usual. All these and more haunted the streets this weekend, revealing without a care by the light of the October moon, their visages magical and mysterious in the moonlight, titillating and enticing.
'Wicked' enchants at Overture, St. Louis and Fox shine as leads
(10/27/15 4:53am)
Growing up in a land devoid of musicals that were the hallmark of everything Disney and magical did not deprive me of a fondness for Broadway. It also did not rob me of making sure the giants of Broadway legend were on my bucket list. I may have learned of them later, what with being across the world and whatnot, but my enthusiasm for them was never small. For a very long time, “Wicked” has topped that list for me. Perhaps it was through the new version of Oz, or Lea Michele’s obsession with the musical and the vocally brilliant performance of “Defying Gravity” again and again that I discovered it; I don’t quite remember anymore. What I do know, though, is that finally seeing “Wicked” Thursday at the Overture Center defied all my expectations.
Voltz marches to his own drum
(10/09/15 12:03am)
In movies and TV shows, high schools often feature two stereotypes: band nerds and jocks. Dan Voltz would have been the character that defies the societal norms, a Troy Bolton-esque protagonist that excels athletically and musically. Maybe he’s not exactly like Zac Efron’s character from “High School Musical,” but Voltz has a love for both music and football.
Spiders don’t believe in gravity so I have decided to not believe in gravity either
(10/05/15 5:34am)
OK. I know what you’re all thinking, “Stanley doesn’t believe in gravity, so therefore he doesn’t believe in science.” This is totally false. I absolutely refute this. Sure, I don’t believe in gravity. I do not believe it exists. But not because I don’t believe in science. In FACT, the evidence that inspires this epiphany is purely scientific.
Column: Wildcats may be primary benefactor of weak Big Ten West
(09/29/15 4:15am)
While the eyes of the nation will be intently fixed on the clash of unbeaten powers Ohio State and Indiana Saturday at the always-menacing Memorial Stadium, a different Big Ten matchup in the opening week of conference play also deserves the attention of the adrenaline-seeking college football fan. Northwestern welcomes
Running game will need to pick up quickly
(09/25/15 12:00pm)
For the second consecutive week, Corey Clement’s game day uniform consisted of a snapback, headset and T-shirt. Hampered by a groin injury that is looking more and more like a serious issue, rather than a nagging minor impairment, Clement’s absence again made offensive coordinator Joe Rudolph get creative with the game plan.
Letter to the Editor: How we forgot about the arts
(09/08/15 2:08am)
Ever since the majority of us were little, our parents and elementary school teachers would fill our minds with the phrase “everybody is important As we grew into functioning teenagers and acquired aspirations of our own, these three words were lost as reality became more prevalent in our lives. Students of all ages can attest that there are definitive cliques that are often determined by natural talent. These athletic, academic and artistic groups often compete for a sense of fulfillment and purpose in society.
Stop studying and put in a good movie before finals
(04/28/15 6:30am)
So as finals dawn on us once again, many of you will be looking for ways to less productively divert your time and eradicate stress (while preserving brain cells). And while, as a film student, watching films “technically” counts as studying for me, it remains the absolute perfect way to kill a couple of hours. So without further ado, I humbly present a list of films, from old favorites to new friends, with which to amuse, thrill, reflect on and altogether distract yourself this, or any, exam’s eve (and for bonus points, most of them are on Netflix).
Record Routine: Brown Bird creates bittersweet album after loss of band member
(04/28/15 5:17am)
For an artist, releasing an album is typically a joyful experience, when fans can finally listen to the months, or even years, of work they’ve put in to create that record. For Brown Bird, however, the release of their latest album Axis Mundi is bittersweet. David Lamb, half of the eclectic folk duo, lost his battle with leukemia in April of 2014, and his wife and music partner MorganEve Swain was left to finish the project on her own. All of the songs except one, “Tortured Boy,” were either written by Lamb shortly after his diagnosis or during his initial recovery. Swain said that sifting through those songs was incredibly difficult for her, but with the help of her brother, producer Spencer Swain, she was able to pull together one final tribute to Brown Bird and her late husband.
